' I Description Injthe drawings, I have 'illustrated the usual form ofwindow frame 1, and upper sash 2 and lower sash 3, slidable within saidframe. I 7

It has heretofore been necessary to mount the shade andshade brackets atthe sides of the window frame 1, above the sashes, but I have devised animproved and efi'icient form Patent of the United States is:

of shade hanger which may be mounted on the side pieces of the sashes,and may be removedbodily, or swung out of the way, when itis desired toslide one sash by the other. I have provided a U shape supporting member4, having laterally extending fasten,- ing wings 5, which in turn areprovided with openings" 6, through which fastening screws may be placed.The bottom or intermediate v portion of the member 4 extends parallelWith L the fastening Wings 5, but lies in a plane spaced from the planeof said wings. A locking slot T is formed in the member 4, extend ingapproximately half the depth of said member, and in the connectingportion between said intermediate portion and a fastening wing. a I Theshade hanger proper comprises a base member 8 having a slot 9 formedtherein and adapted to be received within the supporting member 4;,behind the bottom portion there of, with the slots 7 and 9 cooperatingwith each other. The hanger is bent forwardly at right angles to thebase 8 and is provided with the usual notch 10 adjacent its free end toreceive the pintle of a shade roller. A latch 11, of substantiallyU-shape in cross section is pivoted to the forwardly extending portionof the hanger and is adapted to lock down over the notch 10 to retainthe roller in fixed position therein, while a tab 12 extends outwardlyfrom the free end thereof to enable one to grip the latch to manipulatethe same. 8 Many minor changes in detail of construction may be resortedto without departure from the spirit of the invention. j
